PulseGirl told me about this one, like before it came out....and then she reported back on it's amazingness merely a nano-second after she left her seat (might have texted me before she stood up).
I missed it in the theater, but got to watch it, and all the terrific extra footage on the dvd from the comforts of home. Didn't even have to worry that the movie house might be out of popcorn because I could make my own. (Yes, it happened to us at Sweeney Todd, can you believe THAT?) LOVE LOVE LOVE Julie Taymor and her passion. (We saw her Magic Flute at the Metropolitan Opera on New Year's Day, 2007). I always feel it's a privilege to go behind the scenes to see the REAL people involved in making a film and to hear their vision and witness their enthusiasm. If you saw it in the theater you might want to get the dvd just for that All Access Pass.
Did you love the whole strawberry painting scene and his studio room? Swoooooon!
Makes me wish I had a paint ball gun and a big canvas wall. Did you see The Princess Diaries? Loved when the mom had balloons filled with paint hanging above a canvas and she threw darts at them so they'd pop and spill out and splatter randomly. Tried to find a photo for you but came up empty. Maybe this summer I'll try it outside and show ya.
